Answer:
Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd
Explanation:
The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is
d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd
The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:

Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was
d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd
We apply the following equation
T = 2π * sqrt (L/g)
Where g is the gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
L is the longitude of the pendulum (Height of the tower)
T is the period. (T = 18s)
We find L.............> (T /2π)^2 = L/g
L = g*(T /2π)^2...........> L = 80.428 meters
The answer is "matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms"
31 m/s ÷ 9 m/s² = 3.44 s
Time = Change in velocity divided (÷) by acceleration.
